No, this is not another feeble attempt to have the site support betting or allow us to keep our bettors lists. Those are gone and I accept that. However, it has come to my attention due to a direct quote from Jeight that D2jsp does NOT support gambling. Therefore, the lottery is obsolete as it is a form of gambling. So, my suggestion is that the feature is removed, since the site no longer supports it. The link to Jeight's quote is here: http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=29397468&f=200&st=0

You can't get scammed from the lottery. I'm guessing this is the main reason why they don't allow betting.

Well you're guessing wrong. They don't disallow betting. They just don't support it, just like they don't support gambling. Which is why the lottery needs to be removed. If the issue was with scamming, then they would allow us to keep those lists since those were there to help prevent scamming.

Before the banning of sports betting lists, it would have been a resounding no,

Now in light of recent events, its going to get pushed to get removed.

no, they have used the "do not support betting" reason to jusify not putting a built in poker game for fg.

NO... This is a very fun feature.
I've enjoyed putting 50 fg into the lottery and getting 300 back.

It's not about what's fun. Please read the thread and vote fairly, not with personal implications. This has nothing to do with what gives users fg. This is about the site doing what they say they do.
